MA 02109 BY BLAINE DIONNE The Battalion After its longest road trip of the season, the Texas A&M Volleyball Team returned to G. Rollie White Coliseum Saturday night tied with its opponent, the University of Col orado, for fourth in the Big 12 con ference. After defeating the Buffaloes in four games, 16-14, 14-16,15-11,15- 7, the Aggies are now tied with the University of Nebraska for third place in the conference. The Aggies put the Buffaloes away behind a dominating defen sive effort, posting a team season record for a four-game match of 100 digs. Sophomore outside hitter Michelle Cole set the tone defen sively for the Aggies with a career- high 24 digs. While Cole said she has not been pleased with her defensive perfor mance for most of this season, she seemed electrified after the match. “[The digs] felt great, it really felt good,” Cole said. “My defense has been sketchy this past year, and tonight, it felt like the hall was just finding me." Not only were the digs key for the Aggies, but once again, senior outside hitter Summer Strickland stepped up in a big situation with some crucial blocks in the fourth game, getting the crowd involved and helping the Ag gies quell a Colorado rally. “I love blocking," Strickland said, “ft’s my favorite thing to do in volleyball, and if I get excited and show it and if the crowd likes that, then I guess that’s good because it gets them in the game." While the Aggies’ defense was solid, their offense left something to be desired early in the night. “In game one, we hit 4 percent,” A&M volleyball coach Laurie Cor- belli said. “1 don’t think we’ve hit 4 percent in a game once this season. It was almost like, who wants to win this thing less?” But as the game went on, the Aggies found their groove. Octobei a Li '0 4. i!
